How long of a trail is the unit capable of storing/back tracking? Also can you record a trail with your outboard and then use your I-Pilot to back track it? I have alomost made up my mind just to pull the trigger and buy it. Just trying to finish making up my mind. Does RAM make a craddle to hold the remote? Thanks
2 miles is the back track function. it will record up to 3 tracks. The unit has to be down to record the track. If you are installing it on a Teranova, the foot pedal will work. V2 the pedal is a paperweight. :(
It will store three tracks up to two miles each according to the owners manual. I havent used it yet though. So far the advanced auto pilot and spot lock have worked as advertised in the brief times I have used it. Still learning!!I dont think it will record a track while you are running with your reg boat motor though.
OOPS!! I was typing while crappiekiller was posting
Thanks for the info. Overall, do yall think it is worth the money. Please say NO. The urge is killing me. LOL....
I have no stake in this one, but I think it'd be worth the money, but it's not the urge that will kill me!!!!:D:D:DQuote:

And the advanced auto pilot feature is supposed to compensate for current/wind conditions and maintain your desired heading.
I have a power drive V2 with remolt control and pedal. If I change over to I-pilot, would it be worth the change if you loose the foot pedal. Please give input. Pros and Cons. thanks
used my v2 i pilot last week and didn't miss the foot control one bit. but that's just me.
I have the same question. I can think of several reasons to have a foot pedal.Quote:

I have never used my powerdrive V2 with a foot pedal so not sure if I miss it or not. I bought the TM and the I pilot the same day.I went from a 90's model trolling motor to what i have now and have been very pleased. The motor responds very fast to the command you give it so it doesnt take but a second to get out of harms way.
Does the I-Pilot have its own remote ?
Yes it has its own remote.

A very,very nice remote I might add. Its waterproof, floats, is pretty small, and is really light... What else would you ask for???Quote:

I have a Terrova and keep the foot pedal in a rod locker storage compartment. I took it out the other day just for the heck of it to make sure it actually works, it does (never used it in two years). Remotes will spoil us all....just like the ones we use for TV.
Been using a power drive for years with hand remote and never missed the foot pedal. I upgraded to the V2 w/ Ipilot and I like it better. Only one complaint....how in the world can you stop the beeps... they need a switch I hate the beeps.
Very true!!!!! I guess the beeps do tell you that you pressed the button hard enough and something is changing but I could do without them also...Quote:
